Raising Boys
Not sure if this is allowed
Parent/ guardians/kinship witches or people that know children etc.
If you, like me are white with sons and look at them and hope they do not grow up in to misogynistic racist assholes... well rest assured like me, raise them properly.
By properly I mean:
Not be racist
Be true about the horrible history that white people that are romanised and colonised have done to everyone else
As situations and history is created, tell them what is there difference between white and black people doing something have different outcomes (especially with police).
Demonstrate telling racists off and sticking up for people that are being bullied
Tell your child or even someone else’s child off for being racist or even a bully
Explain why peoples hair is different but all hair dreads (mine does if I don’t look after it).
Tell about the genocide of First Nations peoples
Tell the history about how Germanic Tribes were invaded, raped and enslaved by Romans and how Europeans adopted Roman rules by giving up when their sons and daughters were stolen
Check the social media and internet history on your kids phone/computer to see if they are not being radicalised by q&a etc.
So above is just some examples...
We can all do the job of parenting... even if we’re not a parent. It takes a community to raise a child.
If your kid ends up being an ass; you can clearly look at yourself and say I did everything in my power to prevent that.
I will say this: you are doing a fantastic job even if it’s a very shit time
Edit:
If you’re going to comment and then block... grow up
